National Mentoring Month gives Bobby and Bridge a way into a conversation on how to establish a support system for growth, development and learning. Their history has clearly been spattered with support and help which, in their youth, they have clearly been CRAP at requesting or didn’t realise they had. So join them as they explore the importance of a support system for SELF as well as the need for Leaders to step up and find the capacity to be support systems for others.

Being with Kelly Swingler

An affectionate, pre-politically correct term to describe a female soldier. Derived from the wondrous vision of voluptuous thrusting funbags, tightly encased in an issue woolly pully, bouncing across the parade square.
WTAF!! Meet Bobby and Bridge who have something to say about this perception of women in the Military and much, much more.
These two irreverent, life energised women have known each other for over 30 years and have LOTS to say about their experiences of life, leadership and being led. Come and join their conversations on "Being". Laugh, learn and realise you aren't alone.
